🇨🇩 Outbreak Investigation of Ebola Virus Disease in North Kivu - 2019
2025-10-23
Treatments and complications
These complications are inferred from laboratory results :
- Renal impairment: Creatinine (mg/dL)≥1.1
- Hyperkaliemia: Potassium (mmol/L)>5.5
- Hypokaliemia: Potassium (mmol/L)<3.5
- Rhabdomyolysis: Creatinine kinase (U/L)>1000
- Severe hypoglycemia: Glucose (mg/dL) <60
- Severe thrombocytopenia: Platelets (x10⁹/L) <50
Admission Delay by Outcome
| Time from Onset to Admission by Outcome | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Outcome | N | Mean (days) | Median (days) | IQR (days) |
| Deceased | 147 | 6.1 | 5.0 | 4.5 |
| Recovered | 253 | 4.2 | 3.0 | 4.0 |
Ct threshold to predict participant outcome
- ROC analyses were performed to determine the optimal Ct threshold to predict participant outcome.
- With an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.85, ROC analyses evaluated the optimal Ct threshold cut-off at 23.25 for predicting patients outcome (sensitivity 79%, specificity 77%).
